I… haven’t posted since October. Oh jeez. Well, prepare for the pic dump of a lifetime I guess.

Stub nose duck! Every year I see this guy at the duck pond is another year my life is strengthened.I mostly just wanted to pull the camera out and get more practice on it since I haven’t been using it as much lately.

And this is the face of please mom, just let me be done with this and go inside.

These were all the pictures I took in the hopes of getting the perfect holiday card picture. I still feel like I never truly succeeded in getting it though a lot of the tongue out poses were close. Winter is just not the time for taking my kids outside. They don’t enjoy it for longer than five minutes.

Al wasn’t a big fan of santa this year unless santa happened to not be around to talk to.

Finn requested a giraffe for christmas.. because they were sitting next to a giraffe.

For Al’s birthday we went to the aquarium and it was awesome as usual with the added bonus that it didn’t catch on fir while we were there this time.

So I know this isn’t a good picture.. but I really like it. I think it looks cool.

I don’t know why Al was giving me such a face. He loves doing the rope bridge I promise.

This is my favorite birthday picture I got of him. He looks ecstatic.

My attempt to take him out today and get more pictures for his birthday. It’s been raining and snowing on and off and the weather is just gross. I wish cute fluffy snow would just fall down, or that it would at least stop raining because it’s just yuck.
